BLOG: Short for "Web log," a specialized site that allows an individual or group of individuals to share a running log of events and personal insights with online audiences. Blogs with political or current-events themes have grown in popularity and become "soap boxes" for instant mass-audience commentary.
Now. I hope everyone got that. Now those of you that understand are sitting there, scratching your heads or cussing me out for insulting your intelligence and wondering "why the hell is he stating the painfully obvious?" It isn't my goal to insult or confound, but educate some of our newer web denizens and moreso, those new to life at LPSG.
LPSG offers forums for posting. In the forum you can post up a rant, put up a fun game, spark a debate, share a joke or website, ask for tech help, and post personals to meet people. That is what the forum is for.
The Blog is to share, post observations, life lessons we've learned. The blog is a bit more personal in nature and has a little different audience to it. It isn't like a personals column, nor is it where you would advertise your dad's old moped for sale. As the definition says, it is a Web Log or diary if you will.
Hopefully this will help people figure out where certain posts are better made and what should be posted here.
To see an excellent example of a blogger, I suggest reading any of IanTheTall. I find his blogs personal, insightful, humor filled at times and most of all, they are a great little read and an insight into a complex man.
In closing I just have this to say...
Blog wisely and safely.
